Adaptive Sliding‐Mode Control of a Perturbed Diffusion Process With Pointwise In‐Domain Actuation

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A sliding mode–based adaptive control law is proposed for a class of diffusion processes featuring a spatially‐varying uncertain diffusivity and equipped with several point‐wise actuators located at the two boundaries of the spatial domain as well as in its interior.

Recursive Feasibility of Nonlinear Stochastic Model Predictive Control With Gaussian Process Dynamics

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data‐based learning of system dynamics allows model‐based control approaches to be applied to systems with partially unknown dynamics. Gaussian process regression is a preferred approach that outputs not only the learned system model but also the variance of the model, which can be seen as a measure of uncertainty.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Propagation patterns of hydrological droughts in the source region of Yellow River: Insights from standardized versus threshold‐based approaches

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the propagation patterns of hydrological droughts is crucial for drought prevention, disaster mitigation, and water resource management. Two common methodological frameworks are employed: standardized indices, represented by the Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI), and threshold‐based (non‐standardized) indices, represented by ...

Sustainability as Justice: Making the “Leave No One Behind” Work

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper critically engages with the LNOB principle of the 2030 Agenda, highlighting its conceptual, methodological, and structural limitations. Building on Amartya Sen's social choice theory and Rawlsian justice, it reconceptualizes “sustainability as justice,” emphasizing real‐world comparative assessments grounded in intersectionality. It

Facing Obsolescence: Component Repair and Collaboration in the Independent ICT Commercial Repair Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repairs are becoming more difficult to perform due to multiple factors, including obsolescence, complexity of designs, technological change and lack of information and spare parts. This underlines a conflict between repair and technological designs driven by accumulation logics that require increasing growth rates.

Hiring at the tip of the funnel: Externalizing the work of integrating and coordinating diverse human capital

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary We adopt a network‐based perspective to examine the effects of hiring strategies in terms of the diversity of hiring sources. Considering the transferability of general and firm‐specific skills, we propose that firms can reduce integration costs while gaining diversity benefits when they hire from a focused set of firms that ...

Conundrums of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensors

Small, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing faces fundamental conundrums arising from finite field decay lengths, environmental cross‐sensitivities, and batch variability. Competing surface, bulk, and electrostatic effects can induce red or blue spectral shifts, complicating quantification, reproducibility, and interpretation in complex or ...

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...
